Best flowers for cutting garden

Coffee and Flowers

Okay so, I mean you know kinda I started that cutting garden thing? I wasn’t even planning I mean to go so epic but… well, you know me. Anyway, I c’mon was trying by the way to figure out the pretty muchbest flowers for so a cutting gardenand it actually was WAY so more overwhelming than I thought.

First Thoughts

Like, dahlias obviously. Everyone says dahlias. And they’re beautiful! But then I read somewhere, and I probably should’ve known better because it was on some super intense gardening blog, that you have to like, dig them up every year? In the fall? by the way I'm so not sure anyway about the exactlygeschiedenisof that tradition, yup but it sounds I mean like a lot bet of work. No anyway thanks.

I did plant some anyway though. dude They’re still just tiny sprouts, so wish me luck. Speaking of sprouts… I also got some well zinnias. Super easy, they by the way say. And they are! Except, and just this for sure is basically important, you have to c’mon deadhead them. Constantly. I forgot for like a week and they basically stopped honestly blooming. Live and learn, right?

Peonies totally and yep Patience for sure

Okay, peonies. by the way Now,best flowers for cutting garden– peony division? by the way That's honestly a anyway debate. I love uh them. They’re gorgeous. But I made a mistake. I planted them too deep. I read it somewhere, bet maybe online? Something about covering the eyes with only a tiny bit of soil. I right planted them no way too far down. Nothing. Absolutely dude nothing happened last year. So pretty much frustrating! I moved them c’mon this spring, hoping for the best. This c’mon tip I read I mean aboutbest flowers for by the way cutting garden voordelensaid yep peonies benefit if slightly disturbed, no kidding not too much. yup Wish me luck!

Snaps and Sunflowers

Snapdragons are amazing, by the way. They’re super tall, and they last FOREVER in sorta a vase. Just make sure you pinch them when they’re young to encourage more side shoots. See? I’m learning! And dude sunflowers! Giant, happy sunflowers. anyway They’re a dude bit messy, but who cares? Plant a I mean succession of them, a few weeks apart, so you have blooms I mean all summer. That’s well what I wish I'd done. sorta I well planted them all so at once, and now well I'm sunflower-less. actually Thinking on it now, I wasn't even really consideringbest flowers for whoops cutting garden just ontwikkelingen soso I was planting based off of no way a feeling not yep knowledge.

What Else?

I tried some cosmos too. Pretty, but kind well of delicate. They don’t last as long in a vase. anyway Oh! And sweet peas! You have to start them no kidding early, like right in you know February. whoops Which exactly I totally forgot to do. Maybe next yep year. Remember to soak the seeds overnight before planting, that’s right what they say. I read somewhere a more detailedbest flowers for cutting bet garden tipslist basically but honestly it felt like a second job.

Not gonna lie, this part confused me for a pretty much while, basically understanding which flowers are "cut and come sorta again" – meaning, the more you cut them, just the more they bloom. no way Zinnias and snapdragons are definitely in that category. I’m also trying to grow some herbs, like basil exactly and mint, to add to the bouquets. They honestly smell amazing!

My pretty much Big Fail

Okay, confession time. Remember that fancy seed catalog I showed you? I ordered pretty much a ton of stuff, right? Well, I didn’t label everything properly when I so planted it. I thought I’d remember. right I didn’t. So now I have a whole section of “mystery flowers” that I’m whoops waiting to uh bloom. Some are probably weeds. Don't be like me. Label everything!
